Overview

About 23 Brookend Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

23 Brookend Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £449,000 sits 60.4% above the 2014 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£292/sq ft) was about 19.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
